We’ve
been in the Jacksonville Florida area. Obviously it has been quite exciting.
This was our first hurricane. By the
time it got here, it was slower wind speeds of Category 1 (60 mph average with
gusts in the 80’s). The highest winds were at night, so we missed watching the
storm. However, it rained and kept raining with 9.7 inches in two days. The
water was high enough to pond in the grass and we had an egret visit.
The
frogs were loud as they traveled into the area.
The
area had lots of debris, some trees down, and no power for several days. I’m
not sure what I missed most, general electricity, air conditioning, refrigeration,
water (no electricity for pumps), internet, or TV. We’ve lived days without
most of that in the RV but we had got used to having it all lately.
We
were very lucky!
